gooseberry fool, I better hurry up

I’ve not heard anything about the Marvel shows being removed.

On my Netflix from this morning says Defenders limited series and expires on 12/07

Just found out why. Forgot its downloaded on my ipad. I just deleted them and it removed the expiration

I think it is a limited series, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be removed, just that it’s a self contained story.

I can’t see anything about it being removed soon.

Edit: Rubix

Have they announced what is happening to the Marvel stuff once Disney start their own streaming service next year? I know they've said the film's will no longer be on Netflix but presumably stuff like this would stay as Netflix co-funded it?

Mild LC2 spoiler

Is it me or is Iron Fist very dark (as in hard to see dark)

That’s weird, a lot of the complaints about the show was that Iron Fist was too light.

Just finished Iron Fist. Starts of with a lot of promise but it just can’t keep it up.

Still agree with my list, onto Defenders

What’s next? Punisher?

That’s already on my list TP1

Will watch OITNB before watching JJ2

Also the end of defenders

I probably won't bother with any more of these series' until The Punisher is released on disc.

Jessica Jones was boring, Daredevil 2 started well but then descended into ninja bs, and neither Luke Cage nor Iron Fist have any particular appeal for me.

Still pushing through with JJS2, up to episode 10 now. It's decent enough but looking back S1 really was so much better than this. Hoping to get it done soon so I can commit to Luke Cage!

Season 2 is even worse? Jeez.

In my opinion yes, but then I really liked Season 1 so make of that what you will!

JJ2 was absolutely awful and I barely made it half way through. They gave her dull friends way too much airtime.

I'm liking LC2 at present. It's nothing amazing, but it's certainly entertaining enough. I do find some stuff quite cringe-worthy though like the constant social media stuff, and the weirdly forced references to 90's hip hop acts.

Time for a ranking!

DD1 >> JJ1 > Punisher >> LC1 > LC2 > DD2 > Defenders >> JJ2 > IF1

Daredevil S1 I genuinely love and is up there with the best of any marvel. Jessica Jones S1 was elevated by a terrific villain and I would happily watch it again just for David Tenant. Punisher creeps in last to the "series I would happily watch again" as I think it has a really strong lead performance.

Luke Cage S1 and S2 are both slow, but I really enjoy what they do with the episodic music performances. Daredevil 2 started well but descended into too much comic book buffoonery. Defenders was carried by Daredevil and the fact I was invested in the multi-series plot arc, but it was frustratingly Iron Fist centred.

Jessica Jones S2 did things with characters I didn't like, and didn't really seem to have a compelling overall plot. I did at least like how it played with my expectations in that respect, but ultimately I found it leaned too much into comic book territory and I just wasn't invested in the characters.

Iron Fist was a complete struggle for me to get through and I find his existence in the universe almost entirely unnecessary. He's also annoying as hell. I only watched it for the Defenders setup and Daredevil continuity.
